applyAlias{

Rename BoundaryElements with the given alias name

Rename BoundaryElements with the given AliasForGeometryItems, for example to give the same alias to all geometry parts in a geometry file, irrespective of what names were defined in the file.

Example:

begin_boundary_elements{} include{cube.msh} applyAlias{"cube"} # whole geometry gets renamed to cube end_boundary_elements

Note: Internally, this command overwrites aliases after the geometry file has been read completely. This implies that, even when applyAlias{ is used, all parts in the geometry file need to have a valid alias (default alias is sufficient) in order to successfully complete the reading process.
